- Carbon Fiber
Applied Sciences Inc. CNF Mat is a continuous nanomaterial sheet good made using low-cost, commercially available materials. It offers one application method of P3 for your product. We work with customers to develop a product that’s custom-designed to achieve the advantages they need. The key properties of CNF Mat are flexibility and durability, which allows reel-to-reel processing methods such as pre-pregging and porosity. It also enables effective infusion with resin.

- HIGHLIGHTS
The motivation for the Development of CNF Mat; Our CNF Mat material incorporates high-quality, multi-functional nanomaterials into composite systems and is processed using the same equipment or techniques as conventional composites. This product form incorporates pre-dispersed CNF into the sheet good, so it's perfectly dispersed within products.; The versatility of CNF Mat Materials; CNF Mat is produced from low-cost commercially available materials. Both woven fabrics and non-woven veils can be used as the backbone or substrate of CNF Mat. It provides the material enough strength for a wide variety of composite processing techniques. There are many applications for these materials because of the diversity in woven fabrics and non-woven veil materials available. These range from polymer fiber to metal coated carbon fiber veils, to many other CNF mat compositions.; Cytec Engineered Materials in Anaheim, California; The CNF Mat materials processed at Renegade Materials' industrial scale pre-preg line were processed without special handling, backing paper, or equipment. Our CNF Mat is the first continuous nanomaterial sheet good processed on reel-to-reel equipment on an industrial scale without any special handling or processing considerations.; Reinforce Your Sheet Material; CNF Mat makes it easier to use nanomaterials in composite systems. CNF Mat permits accurate placement of plies and eliminates dispersion concern issues associated with nanoparticle reinforced systems. And it's processed using existing composite processing equipment. When using traditional equipment to make pre- pregs, CNF Mat is durable enough to be directly substituted for conventional materials.
- Properties of CNF Mat
CNF Mat was originally developed for EMI shielding applications, but is also ideally suited to enhance composite mechanical properties, such as shear strength, tensile strength, and modulus. This emerging class of materials has also demonstrated enhanced vibration damping of composite systems.
